The AirTAC Airtac SAIJ50 Adjustable Cylinder SAIJ50AX280-100S is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 280mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAIJ50X280-100-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a rear stroke adjuster that provides a 180-280 mm usable travel window from its 280 mm nominal stroke. Delivering 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles robust workholding and changeover tasks. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides, and this variant integrates a magnet for CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state switches.
This configuration uses an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (code A) for improved corrosion resistance and features PT tapered port threads. The rear adjuster functions as a mechanical stop to dial in end positions during commissioning without adding external stops. It supports a reduced mounting set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting FB, CA, CB, and CR.

Dial in the retract position within the 180-280 mm window during machine setup to accommodate varying product lengths without external stopper blocks.
Leverage the SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and 982 N push force to securely clamp parts in environments where standard carbon steel rods might face moisture or contamination.
Quickly fine-tune the travel end-point during line changeovers, using the rear screw to set the exact stroke distance required for new component dimensions.
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need more force than a 40 mm bore provides (628 N push at 0.5 MPa), but want to avoid the bulk of a 63 mm cylinder. The 100 mm adjustment window is ideal for product-size changeovers, allowing you to shift the retract end-stop without swapping the cylinder. Because the rear adjuster only sets travel limits and the air cushions decelerate the load, this cylinder cannot hold position without live air; for fail-safe load holding, consider an SAIL or BSAI cylinder. As a 280 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, ensure external guides are used to prevent rod side-loading and premature wear. This unit is dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders via its 50 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, PT ports, and -S magnet.
Quick checklist
At a 0.5 MPa operating pressure, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At the maximum 1.0 MPa pressure, it can deliver up to 200 kgf.
The rear adjuster acts as a mechanical stop that lets you shorten the effective travel by up to 100 mm, creating a usable 180-280 mm stroke window. It allows precise end-position tuning during commissioning without replacing the cylinder.
